When I depress the brake pedal on my 69 Judge (power front discs) I hear a hissing sound coming from the vicinity of the brake pedal. It starts as soon as I depress the pedal and continues until I let up. Braking action is fine. Sounds like a vacuum leak somewhere.

Opinions and proper repair please.

Thanks

probably is a leak from the booster where the push rod goes.

Does that mean the whole booster will have to be replaced or is there a seal that can be replaced instead?

Thanks for the help.

Dont try disassembling the booster yourself. It is spring loaded.

Sounds like new booster time.
Very easy to install and with the new plating on the booster it really dresses up your engine compartment.
